And since the loser of the SEC championship game never goes to the BCS, it looks like they have UGA winning the East over UF, and then falling to the Credit Card Bowl after losing to LSU in Atlanta.

Assuming they've actually thought about how bowl scenarios actually play out, and aren't just making this up randomly. Which seems reasonably likely.

it said in their predictions that LSU would beat UF in SECCG

Exactly. USC should go undefeated, as they're much more experienced at QB, RB, and OL.

However, they have some loseable road games.

BCS Championship Game: Louisiana Superdome - USC vs. Virginia Tech: Unless Va. Tech finds a good QB I don't see this happening.

Orange - Florida vs. West Virginia I could agree with this
Fiesta - Texas vs. Louisville Agree with this
Rose - Cal vs. Wisconsin Not too high on Wisconsin. I think Penn. State wins the big 10
Sugar - LSU vs. Michigan Not sold on LSU's offense

Chick-fil-A - Tennessee vs. Boston College I think UT will be a little better than the Chick-fil-a bowl
Outback - Ohio State vs. Auburn I could see this
Cotton - Nebraska vs. Arkansas Team McFadden will struggle some this year
Capital One - Penn State vs. Georgia Not high on UGA. Stafford has to prove himself and their defense will have problems
Gator - Florida State vs. Oklahoma Not sure where they got Oklahoma here
Music City - South Carolina vs. Wake Forest Agreed
Independence - Oklahoma State vs. Alabama I think Bama will be better than Independence bowl
Motor City - Central Michigan vs. Notre Dame I could see this...LMAO @ the Domers

I'm kind of confused by this thread....

The general opinion I have run into on this message board is that we have to many holes to expect anything great this year....

Yet on this thread alot of people are implying they won't be happy with 8-4, 9-3....even 10-2....the possibility of 9,10,or 11 wins.....if it means we're not in a BCS bowl game

Could someone explain this to me. Either we expect to do well and are insulted by these kind of predictions or we accept that we have to many holes to fill and shouldn't expect championships this year....how can we have both expectations?

Easy. Some people write with their heads, some with their hearts. And of those people, most write with both, depending on the day and the topic of the thread. Do they take inconsistent positions? Sure.

Your point being?

No point I suppose...except that I don't know how anyone could enjoy being a fan of a team if those two outlooks are what they chose to subscribe to

I for one expect great things this year.....I'd rather do that and be proven wrong than spend my time thinking either we'll be lucky to win 8 or we should fire our coach if we don't make it to the BCS

blamie, I think most of us think UTK should do better given the talent level of the players at UTK but some of us accept the fact that that talent will be largely offset by poor gameday coaching when the Vols face teams that are in the same neighborhood talentwise. Hence, there is a legitimate reason to expect more while realizing that more likely than not those expectations will not be met given 8 years of underachieving history. Thanks for your question.

BCS Championship Game: Louisiana Superdome - USC vs. Virginia Tech: VA Tech always finds a way to choke, how many times have they been in the BCS?.

Orange - Florida vs. West Virginia One of these could easily end up in the NT game
Fiesta - Texas vs. Louisville I think Oklahoma will beat Texas, the Big East is not getting 2 BCS teams
Rose - Cal vs. Wisconsin Wisconsin cannot beat Ohio St or Michigan, Cal cannot win the big game, neither will be there
Sugar - LSU vs. Michigan LSU has a good chance to be here, they will be playing the ACC champion here, probably a big surprise

Chick-fil-A - Tennessee vs. Boston College Actually I see Alabama here
Outback - Ohio State vs. Auburn Probably where we end up
Cotton - Nebraska vs. Arkansas Arkansas will win 6-7 games at most. Taking a MAJOR step back, Nebraska will be very good and could make a BCS run
Capital One - Penn State vs. Georgia This is where I see Auburn, Penn St is very overrated and Georgia will be up and coming
Gator - Florida State vs. Oklahoma Would be a great matchup, probably not going to get Oklahoma
Music City - South Carolina vs. Wake Forest Wake will not surprise people this year, Spurrier will have some tricks this year
Independence - Oklahoma State vs. Alabama Not happening, expect an Arkansas like rise for the Tide
Motor City - Central Michigan vs. Notre Dame Not happening, ND will qualify for a bowl and a much better one will pick them up. Expect them to win 8-9 and play in the Gator

These are my predictions

VT has been to 2 BCS bowls, which is the same amount as Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas.

See....that makes sense. I chose not to think that way...but it does add up and I appreciate the insight. I understand we should do more with our talent level....but I have found myself being looking att all we weren't doing in that department before and all it did was take away from how much I enjoyed UT football. So now I chose to expect the best until proven otherwise

Yeah, the Holiday Bowl is a real step up. I hope you guys don't draw a powerhouse like BYU or Texas Tech again.

Listen, I can understand giving us a hard time and having confidence in your team. However, your program is not storied. Give it up.

The straws of positivism that I am clinging to this year are the facts that pretty much everyone else in the SEC (barring LSU who is not on the schedule) is in a rebuilding/reloading posture so there is at least a chance that the Vols can get as much or more out of thier new starters as everyone else and that UTK has a Sr. QB.
